A science experiment involves periodically measuring the number of mold cells present on a piece of bread. At the start of the e

xperiment, There are 50 mold cells. Each time a periodic observation is made, the number of mold cells triples. For example, observation #1, there are 150 mold cells.​

Answer:

  • y = 50·3^x
  • (2, 450), (3, 1350), (4, 4050), (5, 12150)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you each observed count is 3 times the last one.

__

Expressed as an exponential function with an initial value of 50 and a growth factor of 3, the formula is ...

  y = (initial value)×(growth factor)^x

  y = 50·3^x

Please help me <br><br>If 180°&lt;α&lt;270°, cos⁡ α=−8/17, what is sin -α?
rewona [7]

Starting from the fundamental trigonometric equation, we have

\cos^2(\alpha)+\sin^2(\alpha)=1 \iff \sin(\alpha)=\pm\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\alpha)}

Since 180, we know that the angle lies in the third quadrant, where both sine and cosine are negative. So, in this specific case, we have

\sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\alpha)}

Plugging the numbers, we have

\sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=-\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=-\dfrac{15}{17}

Now, just recall that

\sin(-\alpha)=-\sin(\alpha)

to deduce

\sin(-\alpha)=-\sin(\alpha)=-\left(-\dfrac{15}{17}\right)=\dfrac{15}{17}

A pizza shop sells three sizes of pizza, and they track how often each size gets ordered along with how much they profit from ea
kari74 [83]

Answer:

μy = $6.56 ; σy = 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Mean μx= $8.56

Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

Profit, Y on pizza with current promo :

Price off on pizza = $2

Y = x - 2

μx = E(x) = $8.56

μy = μ(x - 2)

μy = μx - $2

μy = $8.56 - $2

μy = $6.56

For the standard deviation of y

σx ≈ 2.77

σy = σ(x - 2)

σy = σx - 2

Constants are treated as 0 for standard deviation

σy = 2.77

A number cube was rolled as part of an experiment. The results are shown in the table. Explain how to find the experimental prob
pychu [463]

The experimental probability of rolling a 6 is 9/60  which can be determined by dividing the frequency of the observation 6 with the total frequency of the experiment.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Experimental probability is different from theoretical probability because the former is obtained by experimentation  while the latter is what we expect theoretically.When we take a number of observations, the experimental probability and theoretical probability need not be the same.

In this question we have to determine the experimental probability of 6. It can be determined by dividing the frequency of the observation 6 by the total frequency of the experiment.

frequency of 6=9

total frequency=frequency of 1+frequency of 2+frequency of 3+frequency of 4+frequency of 5+frequency of 6

=13+11+9+8+10+9

=60

P(6)=frequency of 6/total frequency

=9/60
